6D Superconformal Field Theories and Little String Theories

Explore a comprehensive lecture on quantum field theory, string theory, and their implications in 6-dimensional space-time, delivered by theoretical physicist Kimyeong Lee at BIMSA. Delve into the fundamental understanding of particle interactions through quantum field theory and its role in the Standard Model. Discover how string/M theory research has expanded our understanding of consistent quantum field theories in higher dimensions, particularly focusing on 6-dimensional little string theories without gravity. Learn about the rich structures of these theories and their significant impact on physics, geometry, black hole physics, and the geometric Langlands program. Gain insights from an experienced researcher whose expertise spans quantum field theory, string theory, cosmology, black holes, particle phenomenology, geometry, representation theory, vertex operator algebras, categorical symmetries, and number theory.
